Dead Now is a new rock band debuting on Brutal Panda records.
I checked them out because Andrew Elstner (formerly of Torche) is in the band, and that is reason enough. (Also, it's a good band name for a review going up the week before Halloween.) Here Elstner joins Bobby Theberge and Derek Schulz, both of Day Old Man.
With that amount of sludge background, it was deliberate on my part to refer to Dead Now as a rock band. There is still some pretty ponderous guitar - the music is heavy - so I don't think sludge fans will be disappointed, but I could also see Black Sabbath fans really enjoying Dead Now. This is heavy rock.
The other thing that strikes me is a subtle humor to band photos. You can't tell from the album art, but having seen just a couple of photos of the band, I sense that they are having fun, while probably not admitting it. Something about that seems right.
Dead Now has a handful of performances coming up in November and December - currently all in Georgia - but recently wrapped up touring with Red Fang.
